I could understand why a guy like Elon Musk or Peter Thiel would see themselves as some master of the universe who should not be denied the superior future he has earned, but moviebob is literally an obese internet sperg who lives in a basement....and yet he thinks that he has earned the right to upload his consciousness into the singularity while Elon Musk and Silicon Valley have done nothing. It's fucking hilarious how insane he is.

That’s what happens when you convince yourself you’re better and smarter than everyone else and you have zero self awareness and lack critical thinking.

Blobb is a dunce, a big dunce. No one in the superior future wants an obese, diabetic basement dwelling lump who makes gaming and movie critiques.

He's Ignatius Reilly, but without the classical education.
 
So Bob posted another preview of his upcoming RTG on A New Hope. He literally calls the film subversive.

Other highlights include from about 4:50-6:00 criticizes the exact kind of film buff he is without self awareness while also dissing on anime fans.

"Subversive" ... isn't really wrong, though. Star Wars was a piece of pulp entertainment when black and white stories of good and evil and simple rescue the princess / defeat the evil empire narratives had very much fallen from favor. Of course, that subversion consisted of going back to antique cliches and stock characters, so YMMV on the accuracy of the term.
 
Some on here might also find this amusing.

Yeah that's one of those questions... If nihilism is adopted in rebellion to tradition only to then become the new society standard, is it really rebellion if people then go back to the previous tradition?

Oh wait... isn't that less subversion and more retro?
 
My friendsh, we are falling down on the job. How did we miss this?

OMG what a tough guy we got here

That rant is such a mess. He argues that the general public are idiots who barely understand film, while simultaneously arguing that pre-internet casual film watcher are well versed in script structure and film theory. Which is it Bob?

And the end point where he says Star Wars is about war. Wow, really Bob? That's your big "look at how clever I am" observation?

I don't get it. How is anything he described "subversive"? It's just how movies work. First, we establish the bad guys and the princess, thus setting up the conflict. We use C3PO (who is completely clueless about everything) as an audience surrogate, who then gets sent to Luke, our protagonist. And no, there's nothing unusual about Luke appearing 15 minutes in, we needed that time to set things up. It's like complaining that Romeo first sees Juliet only in the fifth scene of the play. And don't even get me started on the cantina scene being "too weird" somehow.
Bob simply wanted to stick it to those who hated TLJ, so he tried his hardest to find subversion in ANH. I guess it didn't work out.

I haven't watched it (Bob videos give me seizures), but you can argue it's subversive against the backdrop of where American film was in 1977. That was certainly how some people saw it at the time -- Time did a cover story on Star Wars called "The Return of Entertainment!" This was after a decade or so of anti-establishment, cynical, antiheroic movies like Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation, MASH, Network, Midnight Cowboy, and just take your pick of whatever genuinely subversive movies of that era made critical hearts go pit-a-pat. On the other hand, in the two years before Star Wars you had Jaws and Rocky, so, again, how "subversive" George Lucas was is really debatable.

Does he make that argument? I'm curious, but not curious enough to subject myself to his voice.

Yes. He points to things like the first lightsabre scene it being handled like a throwaway gadget thing instead of something hugely important with it's own theme song.

There's a disclaimer at start saying that this is an edited clip from a longer video (despite it being 20 minutes long) so I wanted to wait before passing full judgement, but as @Daishouri said it really comes across as him trying to stick it the Mr Plinkett review and as @Godzilla@1989 said, he condemns movie nerds by describing himself. Condemning armchair film critics as people who only watch super hero movies, pixar movies, lego movies, and video game movies.

But the rant is inconsistent. In one minute casual movie goers are stupid to understand what's going on, and the next are adept at understanding of traditional film structure and how the film breaks that structure, only to go back to being stupid once it's convenient for his rant.

How does that make sense when everything is political? You sound pretty obsolete there. That phrase will never stop being silly.

That was also a time where America needed their spirits and optimism restored after two decades of turmoil with Vietnam, civil rights protests, and Watergate. So films like Star Wars, Jaws and Rocky help bring some positive vibes in people.

I forgot to post this last week when Bob tweeted it out during the middle of his meltdown, but once again...
